Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle for two-wheelers, in particular bicycles, with a seat which is attached to the frame of the bicycle or the like by means of a height-adjustable frame.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of further developing a bicycle saddle in such a way that the distribution of the body weight is optimized and the lateral stability during the ride can be significantly improved by simple means.
  • this object is achieved in that the seat has a wide support surface for the rider's buttocks and that in Direction of travel in front of the seat a steering column is attached, which is essentially at the height of the seat.
  • the steering support can consist of an elongated body, the longitudinal extension of which is in the direction of travel.
  • the steering support provided according to the invention is enclosed by the driver's two thighs during the ride, as a result of which they assume cornering forces and give the body on the seat a safe and rotation-free position without impairing the usual driving and steering feel on the bicycle.
  • the overall system of two-wheeler drivers is given a directional stability which is substantially better than that of the prior art by the bicycle saddle designed according to the invention.
  • the distance between the steering support and the seat is adjustable and can thus be adapted to the body size of the driver. It is also advantageous if the steering support can be pivoted about a horizontal axis, so that the height relative to the seat can also be adjusted to an optimal dimension.
  • the seat has a recess in the middle of its front edge, which is anatomically very advantageous especially for male drivers and into which the steering support can be moved if necessary.
  • a valve for introducing hard foam is provided on the underside of the seat in order to be able to select the hardness and elasticity of the seat in this way.
  • the two figures show a saddle, designated overall by 10, for a two-wheeler, in particular a bicycle, which according to the invention consists of an elastic seat 12 and a steering support 14.
  • the seat 12 has a much wider support surface in the manner of a chair than the conventional seats, on which the driver's buttocks rests.
  • the seat 12 At its front edge, the seat 12 has a recess 34, so that the base of the seat 12 has approximately the shape of a U.
  • the seat 12 is mounted at two points 18 lying symmetrically to the longitudinal axis 16 in the region of its front edge on a support frame 20 which is fastened in a known manner to a tube 22 of the frame in an adjustable manner.
  • the rear part of the seat 12 is supported in the middle by a spring 24 on the support frame 20.
  • the longitudinal support 14 is designed as an elongated body, the longitudinal extension of which lies in the direction of travel.
  • the steering support 14 is attached at the upper end to an angle tube 26 which is attached to the front part 28 of the support frame 20.
  • the angle tube 26 is attached to the front part 28 of the support frame 20, for example by a telescopic connection, so that the distance a between the steering support 14 and the seat 12th can be adjusted.
  • This distance a is generally of the order of 80 mm.
  • Figure 1 shows that a valve 32 is provided on the underside of the seat 12, through which rigid foam can be injected in order to be able to adjust the hardness and elasticity of the seat 12.
